The Bold EAGIGER

The creature I chose to construct was a blend of a bald eagle and a white tiger. I chose a bald eagle to represent the body and strength of my creature because they represent the United States’ freedoms, spirit and pursuit of excellence. In a sense, I can relate this to the women of today. They are very free spirited and are always trying to pursue excellence so they can be treated with equality. Also, bald eagles are very precious because they are in fact becoming extinct. In a way, women are valued to one’s family and the society because they are the primary caregivers. In addition, I can describe myself as being very free spirited and always trying to become better by working harder. The other animal I chose to represent the feet of my creature was a white tiger. I chose to use the paws of the white tiger because their claws are an amazing aspect that make up this animal. The claws of the white tiger symbolize the strong trademark that makes them so agile. The strong morality is also seen in many women today. I believe that I have to be strong and stand up for myself or no one else will. Also, the background may seem unique for such an animal because neither of the white tiger nor the bald eagle would be found near a beach. However, this is where I as being the head of my creature come in. Since I grew up and live near the beach that is what I call home. Therefore, for a creature like this that probably would have trouble surviving in other environments, its home is where the beach is. Magical realism has helped me construct such a free spirited and strong animal that belongs somewhere. Additionally, it has allowed me to make something real out of something extraordinary.
